B. The role of the moon is greater than that of the sun in the occurrence of tides. ???​

ahrayia [7]3 years ago

Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. If tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the moon. However, the sun is 390 times further from the Earth than is the moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 3903, or about 59 million times less than the moon. Because of these conditions, the sun’s tide-generating force is about half that of the moon.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: tensional force

Explanation:

Tension force on a material occurs when two equal forces act on a material in an opposite direction away from the ends of the material.

Pre-tensing a wire material increases its load bearing capacity and reduces its flexure.

postnew [5]

Answer:

ucosφ=-v2cosθ2\\\\φ=cos^{-1} (\frac{-v2cosθ2}{cosφ} )

Explanation:

Two identical sticky masses m are moving in the xy-plane, with their momenta at an angle of φ with one another. They are each moving at the same speed v when they collide at the origin of the coordinates and stick together. After the collision, the masses move at an angle −θ2 with respect to the +x axis at speed v2 .1. What was the angle φ?

from the principle of momentum

In a system of colliding bodies,we know that the total momentum before collision will equal to the total momentum after collision.

Take note that momentum is the product of mass and velocity

momentum before collision=momentum after collision

mass, m

u=initial velocity of the identical masses

v2=the common velocity after the collision

Note that the collision is inelastic , since they both moved with the same velocity

umcosφ+umcosφ=(m+m)v2cos−θ2

2mucosφ=2mv2cos−θ2

ucosφ=-v2cosθ2\\\\φ=cos^{-1} (\frac{-v2cosθ2}{cosφ} )

A block with a mass of 8.7 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 8.7 m, and remains at rest after hitting the ground. 1)If we
Harlamova29_29 [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravitational potential energy.

This can be defined as the product between mass, gravity and body height.

Mathematically it can be expressed as

\Delta P = mgh

\Delta P = (8.7)(9.8)(3)

\Delta P = 255.78J

Therefore the change in the internal energy of the system is 255.78

A pendulum Bob released from some initial height such that the speed of the bob at the bottom of the swing is 1.9m/s. What is th
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

h = 18.4 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of the bob at the bottom of the swing is 1.9m/s.

We need to find the initial height of the bob. Let it is h.

We can find it using the conservation of energy i.e.

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where

v is speed of the bob

So,

h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(1.9)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h= 0.184\ m

or

h = 18.4 cm

So, the initial height of the bob is 18.4 cm.
